Signal messenger has investigated rumors spreading online over the weekend of a zero-day security vulnerability related to the 'Generate Link Previews' feature, stating that there is no evidence this vulnerability is real.
After contacting Signal about the zero-day last night, they released a statement on Twitter stating that they have investigated the rumors and have found no evidence that this flaw is real.
"PSA: we have seen the vague viral reports alleging a Signal 0-day vulnerability, reads a statement on Twitter."
"After responsible investigation *we have no evidence that suggests this vulnerability is real* nor has any additional info been shared via our official reporting channels."
These unnamed USG sources said that the vulnerability could be mitigated by disabling the 'Generate Link Previews' setting in Signal.
While Signal has stated that they have no evidence of a new zero-day, they still request that those with new and "Real" info contact their security team.
